okay bestie, that's the whole shape of it — tiny command, big job 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION

So taler-exchange-drain is the little icon that triggers a wire transfer from the exchange's escrow account over to a normal (non-escrowed) bank account of the exchange. 💸 Like, it's literally moving the money out of the safe-deposit-box vibes and into the regular checking-account vibes.

And the entire drain process? Not optional, no cap. It's what makes sure the auditor is aware of the balance changes that come from an exchange making profits from fees. 👀 Like the auditor needs the receipts, always.

To use it, you must first create an upload a 'drain' command using taler-exchange-offline. (Yes, that's exactly how the original says it — "create an upload" — we keep it verbatim, that's the lore 🫶.) After that, run this command to actually queue the drain. Then the actual drain gets executed by taler-exchange-transfer. Three-step slay, one main character each. ⭐

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -c FILENAME, --config=FILENAME — use the configuration and other resources for the exchange to operate from FILENAME. 🎀
  • -h, --help — print short help on options. the "wait what were the flags again" button 🙈
  • -L LOGLEVEL, --loglevel=LOGLEVEL — specifies the log level to use. accepted values are: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR. pick your chaos level 💅
  • -l FILENAME, --logfile=FILENAME — send logging output to FILENAME. 🍓
  • -v, --version — print version information. 🧚
